21、nghaving the computer learn, using the boundary separating positive and negative data. For example, “positive” data would be photos including a happy face, and “negative” data photos that include a sad face. Once a classification boundary is learned, the computer can determine whether certain data a
22、re positive or negative.However, the difficulty with this technology is that it requires both positive and negative data for the learning process, and negative data are not available in many cases. For instance, when a retailer(零售商) is trying to predict who will make a purchase, they can easily find
23、 data on customers who have purchased from them(positive data), but it is basically impossible to obtain data on customers who have never purchased from them(negative data), since they do not have access to their competitors data.According to lead author Takashi Ishida from RIKEN AIP, “Previous clas

Using our new method, we can let computers learn a classifier only from positive data equipped with confidence.”According to Ishida, “This discovery could expand the range of applications where classification technology can be used.

In the near future, we hope to put our technology to use in various research fields, such as natural language processing, computer v
